Joe Budden – Devil In My Room lyrics

Last night I heard a voice say
I'll be getting it my own way
I think I'm falling off the deep end
So I haven't been sleepin'

Last night I heard a voice in my head
Said it's an emergency,
Said he had some work for me

He said fuck the world
Or maybe he said it in jest
I told him that I already did multiple times
Truthfully I wouldn't never impress
But we contradict that matter again
To the point where nothing matters again
More money, more problems,
More cases, more lawyers involved
And more fame just means more paranoia involved
I ‘ve made friends, lost friends, same hour
Tried to use my troops as a means to gain power
Same tricks, same cowards
Why I be like fuck any nigga that ain't ours?
Never slipping, never threatened
I think they forgetting for a second
Non-fiction ain't a weapon
Thoughts could be hypnotic, just neurotic
Called oft psychotic,
Floored by off logic,
But I got this

Last night I saw the devil sitting in my room
And we greeted with a smile
Said that he had been there for a while

Last night I heard the devil talking in my head
Said this is an emergency,
Said he had some work for me
He said

He said one day your friends gonna be your demise
Said a few of them is me in disguise
Deceit in his eyes,
Said I like the teaching me wise
But the leeches I don't need in my life,
Please be advised
Real coy, listening, still annoyed
Said these hoes fill a void,
A hole you still avoid
Said you searching,
You don't know what to do
You thinking you fucking them
When really they're fucking you
Look, said they see you on feats
Said you give the love to the ones
That need it the least

But wait,
You can't put me on trial for my errors
I learned, trial and error,
The how I couldn't tell you talking to the realest, neah just a realist
Neah, you just a nigga
Don't recognize what the real is
Thoughts could be hypnotic,
Thoughts get out of pocket
You'll be powerless,
Get lost,
You try to stop it,
I got this

Last night I saw the devil sitting in my room
And we greeted with a smile
Said that he had been there for a while

Last night I heard the devil talking in my head
Said this is an emergency,
Said he had some work for me
He said

He said what you doing this music for?,
I got news for you
If you don't sell your soul to me
Then you just gonna ruin your future, bro
See, I just cracked open this Goose
And I mixed that elixir with juice
Then I was introduced tolucifer
In a dark room,
His tongue as sharp as a harpoon
We started discussing things
He told me about his minions and his underlings
Told me that he was Gepetto of the ghetto
Had snake niggas on his puppet strings
Taught him betrayal and other schemes
He ain't new to this,
He true to this,
Said he been doing this
Since Jesus was crossed for thirty pieces of silver
And he sealed the deal with a Judas kiss
When Caesar was stabbed in the back
He was the one who placed the knife in Brutus' fist
Now he got his hands in our music biz
Told me to ignore the war and the poor
Aim my music more towards the whores and drug lords
And the fans are pourin' through the doors
Sell out my tours,
Get awards galore

I told him I just wanted to be the modern day Marvin Gaye
He said you might wanna rethink that
Cause I know where your father stay
I'll possess him to pick up the chrome
Pop you in the dome
For trying to tell the people what's going on
He said that's where you're going wrong
It's more demons than angels in this biz,
You're on your own
Wanna hit the big screens switch your sixteens
Get some slim jeans,
Get your big dreams
Or make your wrist gleam,
Get your big cream,
Hope you're listening

I just had to switch to his team,
It was tempting
The contract was in blood
He said I know you sick of trafficking drugs
Sign it
Neah, I got this

Last night I saw the devil sitting in my room
And we greeted with a smile
Said that he had been there for a while

Last night I heard the devil talking in my head
Said this is an emergency,
Said he had some work for me
He said

Nanananana
Nananaanna

Last night I heard a voice say
I'll be getting it my own way
I think I'm falling off the deep end
So I haven't been sleepin'

Last night I thought I heard a voice in my head
Said it's an emergency,
Said he had some work for me

I think the weed started fucking with a nigga
I think the weed started fucking with a nigga
I think the weed started fucking with a nigga
I think the weed started fucking with a nigga
I think the weed started fucking with a nigga

I think the weed started fucking with a nigga
I think the weed started fucking with a nigga
I think the weed started fucking with a nigga
